Received a letter about earthquake insurance and retrofitting recently, so I decided to find a foundation and retrofit expert to evaluate our split-level home built in the 1960s. I had noticed some settling happening in one corner of the house near the windows and was concerned that there might be an issue. I also wanted to know if there was anything we could do to strengthen the home in case of earthquake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sent a message to them on Yelp and received contact back within a day. It was easy to schedule an appointment on the phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ryan showed up to do a free evaluation. He took a look at everything in the house, the garage, side yard, and crawlspace. He even let my 7 year old son assist him with some of the process while taking measurements. He explained the settling that we had in the house and had a few recommendations that he said were of no real urgent concern. He told me what to look out for in the future as signs that we might need to take remediation steps. Overall, he came across as extremely honest, detail-oriented, earnest guy. One detail to share that I think illustrates something about Ryan. For context, we are a no shoes in the house family. Over the last 5 years, we've had a decent number of contractors come do work in the house. The no-shoes thing is always something I end up either discussing or (more often than not) temporarily ignoring when people come into the house to work. In this case, Ryan had already noticed the row of shoes by the door and my unshod feet and removed his shoes without a word about it before entering our house. I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's ever happened. That attentiveness alone already put him in the 5 star category! read more

I contacted Foundation Solutions about two sinking ADA ramp retaining walls. Ryan from Foundation Solutions met us on-site and developed a plan to secure the retaining walls so we could repour the ADA ramps. Ryan, the office staff, and the field crew were all a pleasure to work with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their communication was excellent, and they adjusted their schedule as needed due to weather delays.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They kept me informed throughout the process and helped develop solutions when unexpected conditions arose.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Foundation Solutions is a great company, and I highly recommend them.

Had some concerns recently after seeing some things going on around the house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Called Ryan and he was going to be in my town the next day and offered to stop by for an assessment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ryan was on time and gave me all the information. He went through the house and checked multiple things and areas, he was able to tell me that I wasn't dealing with any type of foundation damage or anything which was a huge relief. We shook hands and off he went. I'd highly recommend Foundation Solutions for any concerns you may have with your home foundation. read more

A moderate amount of soil disappeared next to our house, leaving a hole behind. I feared the worst -- the crawlspace wall was caving in! Ryan from Foundation Solutions did some super-sleuthing and came to the more likely explanation -- an animal dug its way out from under the wall. Nothing that we can't fix on our own, and no charge. Thanks, Ryan! read more

We noticed sudden and worsening cracking and opening of stucco on exterior of our house and called Foundations Solutions who put us in touch with Ryan Kremke, Project Manager. From the start Ryan was responsive and professional; scheduling our appt, arriving right on time, and evaluating possible causes inside the house, under the house and on the exterior of the house. His determination was foundation and interior of house had no problems, recommending we obtain further evaluation with a stucco company. What a relief. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ryan's polite, courteous, friendly demeanor and kind patience answering our questions immediately put us at ease.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His years of experience and expertise gave us trust in his evaluation and recommendation. We highly recommend others with foundation concerns to reach out to Foundation Solutions, and ask for Ryan Kremke. read more

Our shop building is on a slope, and was apparently built on poorly compacted fill. One side was 7" lower than the other,, with numerous cracks in the floor. The crew from Foundation Solutions showed up on time, got right to work, and jacked the footings up within an inch of level! They pumped foam under the floor in a coordinated fashion, raising it so that no sections of the floor were lost. They filled the cracks with epoxy and ground it smooth to mitigate trip hazards. They back-filled all the jack holes, leaving the site in good order. The whole process took less than a week. The crew was very respectful of our property and our time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They kept us well informed of the process and progress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend them highly. read more

I was referred to Foundation Solutions by a co-worker while I was lamenting about my remodel and how much work it was going to be. They came in and did an amazing job and very quickly. When I first saw the scope of work after pulling the subfloor, I couldn't even imagine how they would manage it they jumped write in and knocked it out. The price was under my expectation as well. read more

Excellent - just excellent . I hired them for a job and Patricia called me text me and emailed me immediately - kept in total correspondence with me through the whole project . Patricia sent Ryan to the job and Ryan was awesome , did the work - returned my calls fast easy efficient with no problems At all ! Very informative and went out of his way to make sure I was happy ! Excellent excellent service ! Love working with people like this ! Highly recommended ! read more

Ryan is the best. He is always very responsive, honest, intuitive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I would trust him with any and all foundation needs. This is a very stressful topic, and Ryan is just the person to be in your corner when you're trying to sort through them. He genuinely wants to help you. I wouldn't choose anyone else to guide me through these challenging repairs! read more

I was concerned about foundation issues at our home and Ryan came out within a couple of days of my calling. (Patricia was very helpful and communicative in scheduling.) More important, he evaluated all of my concerns, checked measurements all over the house, and determined that we did not have a foundational problem at all. He recommended a structural engineer to speak to regarding my (likely more cosmetic) needs, and was off on his merry way. I reached out to these folks based on prior Yelp reviews noting the same thing -- honest appraisals -- and appreciate Ryan providing me that. Maybe next time? read more

A pest inspection had been performed on a house we were purchasing and we chose to take care of the issues after closing on the property. The termite company that performed the pest inspection reported they found termite damage in the foundation posts and subfloor and the cost to repair would be $6000. Rather than have them do it, I called Foundation Solutions and Ryan came out to inspect my foundation. He concluded the foundation posts were fine and that the termite company had mis-diagnosed the issue, which was actually water damage in the sub-floor alone. Now when I get my floors replaced I can have the subfloor addresses at the same time with no additional charge! A real life saver. read more

These guys are amazing! I considered rating them a 4 only because they didn't start until three months after they had promised. But once they did, Wow! They definitely get a "five." The foundation repair process is such hard work and these guys are such hard workers. They were professional, clean and tidy. Most importantly, they did fabulous work. I highly recommend them. read more

Have to say, Ryan was super professional and very helpful with diagnosing if we had a problem with our foundation. He check levels all through the house and actually said we did not have a problem!! Sent me a measurement drawing so we had something to compare with in a few years. Would highly recommend these guys to do your analysis. read more

I was referred to Ryan at Foundation Solutions after speaking with other foundation specialists. The other companies were anxious to initiate foundation repairs but after Ryan's comprehensive inspection and floor measurement analysis, he determined that no repairs were actually necessary. I really appreciated his integrity and thorough analysis. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

I don't even know where to start with this review. From the first contact to the end of the job, Ryan and his crew were amazing - professional, knowledgeable, courteous, tidy and clean and very respectful of the impact the job had on me as the homeowner. The job was major, but I felt confident with the information that Ryan and his crew shared with me each step of the project. Since they are specialists, they are very busy so it took awhile from start to finish but worth the wait ! I could not be more pleased. They get an A+++ from me. read more

I cannot say enough positive about this company. Ryan, Daniel,Nate Michael, and Javier made this otherwise painful experience accommodating and positive. They were very respectful? friendly and easy to work with. They are very knowledgeable about the whole process and did a wonderful job repairing our foundation. They were professional and finished in a timely matter. They worked around our animals and made it nice for them as well I highly recommend foundation solutions and will refer my friends for foundation repair in the future. read more

AMAZING! We were in escrow to purchase a home, and the home inspector called out some foundation concerns. I contacted foundation solutions and they were great at working with my schedule to meet me and laser the property. It turns out we did not have major concerns, but we will be definitely using them for the minor repairs once we get around to making them. Highly highly recommend if you have anything foundation related to have addressed! read more

Horrible company. Did piers and repair for our foundation and a french drain in our yard. Completely clueless when it comes to drainage and did the French Drain wrong. We had someone replace it but they still charged us more than 10K for the french drain. Extortion. Do not use this company. read more

Ryan was great. I reached out to him on Yelp and he responded, immediately. He explained the scope of his work. We decided to go with a company closer to where we live, simply because of the practicality of the job and what our needs were. I strongly recommend working with Ryan and his team. - Very professional. read more

Ryan was extremely responsive, honest, thorough and helpful! I would highly recommend him for any foundation concerns.

Thank you Ryan for putting our mind at ease! We had gotten an evaluation from another company that made us think we had problems that needed to be fixed right away. But after Ryan took a look around he quickly determined that our house was perfectly fine and we had nothing to worry about. Thanks for taking the time to take some extra measurements and thoroughness. read more

I have used Foundation Solutions throughout SLO County for years. Jordan, Scott and the crew are great to work with. They have leveled out a few homes for me that I was surprised could be repaired. Their prices are fair and get the job done on time. There have been multiple times that they have checked out a foundation for me and said that nothing needed to be done. Great company to work with. read more

Above and Beyond services. They drove across the state and gave us a free estimate. Very kind and professional gentleman.

We submitted a request for a quote yesterday and Ryan at Foundation Solutions came to our house today. He was prompt and spent considerable time inspecting our foundation, at no cost to us. Our foundation turned out not to need the services they provide, and Ryan so advised us. We are impressed with this company's integrity and knowledge. read more

I must say these folks did a stellar job on our home in Paso. I was more than impressed to say the least. Not only did we watch the interior house cracks disappearing (as their jacks went to work), but the cleanup they did was beyond our expectations - they even washed our windows!! We obtained several bids to do the project. We accepted their bid - finding it to be quite reasonable. Aside from the agony of experiencing problems with the foundation (expanding and contracting clay soil), we have zero complaints and zero concerns over work quality. The workers were extremely sensitive to keeping any work-related mess top areas outside the house. Even on the outside, their techniques were such that the condition of the outside area of the house was returned to virtually that before they began. So, kudos to the workers (Ryan, Leo, Javiar and Daniel) and should a neighbor require such work, we for sure will recommend Foundation Solutions. read more

Scott at Foundation Solutions saved us! There had been foundation work done by the previous owners of our house, and they never got a permit from the county, so when we went to sell the property we lost buyers because there was no permit. It was a devastating and frustrating situation, but Scott stepped up and offered to help. He put a rush on every step and got all of the engineering and soil inspections done within days, and scheduled the uncovering of the previous repair the very next week! His crew was also great, especially Jonathan and Nathan. From the time he started until we got the permit, it took just over a week! He was in constant contact with me every step of the way. It was unbelievable how quickly he got it taken care of, as time was of the essence since we were trying to sell. We are so very thankful for Scott and his crew. I highly recommend these guys!!! read more
